    More quirks and rough edges would have added tot he thrill, but this is nonetheless a heart-warming set from a cultural treasure. [Aug 2018, p.88]

    That's a lot of songs about life and death, but The Blues Is Alive and Well has a lot of songs in general--a full 15, lasting well over an hour. This excessive length means there's a lot of room for levity, too.

    With its crowded track list and extended runtime, this album does not necessarily come off as an essential album in Guy's oeuvre. However, there are some strong tracks in here, and it is worth a listen for any blues aficionado.
